   Notes from Virginia Vance Lovett (Descendants of James Vance (1715-1751) Rev 1992.
   Mary Colville (1762 - 1790/1), Williams second wife, was the daughter of Samuel Colville whose will in 1803 mentions the three sons of his deceased daughter, Mary Vance: John, James and William. Samuel appears to have been the son of James Colville who died in 1777; who only mention one son, John, in his will. He named three Colvilles as executors, John, Joseph and Samuel. However when John wrote his will he mentioned his brother Samuel. Note also that said Samuel had sons named James and John.
   Samuel's son John was named as nephew in John Colville's will. Brother Samuel Colville and John Colville were grandsons of Joseph Colville who died in 1758.
